#4 From The RealREVO:

Professor Kari Norgaard is a winner of the first ever Real Revo Trofim Denisovich Lysenko Award! Congratulations Professor Norgaard!

Professor Norgaard’s demand that promoters of scientific theories that are in contradiction with politically approved theories be declared insane is in the highest tradition of Comrade Lysenko’s work in promoting the agenda of the State. Professor Norgaard has beautifully captured the essence of the December 1929 speech of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in which he praised “practice” above “theory” and the service of science to the state.

In his scientific research in service to the state, Comrade Lysenko caused the expulsion, imprisonment, and death of hundreds of scientists and eliminating all study and research involving any theory in contradiction with those he promoted. Professor Norgaard has taken Comrade Lysenko’s dedication in serving the Party and adapted it to American politics and climate science in a way that reflects glory on science in the service of ideology.

Congratulations Professor Norgaard. May you receive all of the glory and honor Comrade Lysenko received right up to the end of his career.

#6 Don't worry Mister Blue, we'll take good care of you.
Just think of it as sense and not surrender.
But never think again, that you can think again,
Or you'll get something you'll remember.
What will it take to whip you into line?
A broken heart?
A broken head?
It can be arranged.
It can be arranged.

#9 This is clearly a cry for help. Its sad that nobody at the university is willing to help her (psychologically and stylishly).

#12 "Scientists from multiple disciplines from around the world are at the conference to assess where they stand before the June 4-6 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro — also known as "Rio+20" since it is occurring 20 years after 1992's Rio Earth Summit that drew officials from 172 governments."

#13 We integrate research on relational trust, social normative beliefs and cultural and political-economic constraints on pro-environmental action.
Kari Marie Norgaard
Meeting the challenge: essential psychological and social concept for collective response


Sound familiar?

What exists in the social world are relations – not interactions between agents or intersubjective ties between individuals, but objective relations which exist 'independently of individual consciousness and will'.

#14 I just got done reading Applebaum's Gulag: A History. One of the last chapters is dedicated to the Soviet confinement of political opponents in psychiatric facilities - and I use that term loosely, as they were basically quack torture camps.

Do you think Professor Norgaard would support the same thing for us. You don't have to think. She's basically said it.

#15 People are taking Kari's comments out of context. 'Planet Under Pressure' is part of a world famous comedy festivaal held annually. Kari's (professionally known as Jaws) spot is to provide the babble, as in "psych-babble" in between those other famous comedians Bozo the Chimp and Al "chackras" Gore.
